520    Fleeing her moribund marriage in Cape Town, Beth accepts a
       diplomatic posting to Shanghai. In this anonymous city she
       hopes to lose herself in books, wine, and solitude, and to
       dodge whatever pangs of conscience she feels for her 
       fealty to a South African regime that, by the 21st century,
       has betrayed its early promises. At night, she hears the 
       sound of typing, and then late one evening Zhao arrives at
       her door. They explore hidden Shanghai and discover a 
       shared love of Langston Hughes--who had his own Chinese 
       and African sojourns. But then Zhao vanishes, and a 
       typewritten manuscript--chunk by chunk--appears at her 
       doorstep instead. The truths unearthed in this manuscript 
       cause her to reckon with her own past, and the long-buried
       story of what happened to Kay, her fearless, revolutionary
       friend.
